Rodeo to Hercules - Feb. 28, 2011

Today's walk was part urban sidewalks, followed by a stretch of open space by the water to watch the sunset.

I first walked East on San Pablo Ave., spotting a roof full of pigeons along the way, to the intersection with Railroad Ave. -- my end point in yesterday's walk.

I then turned around and walked through downtown Rodeo along Parker Ave., enjoying painted signs, a bar, a bait shop, burger restaurants, an old movie theater turned into a church, and an abandoned restaurant with a dutch windmill on top.

I took a right turn on San Pablo Ave., and walked up a gradual slope to the intersection with Victoria Crescent, before turning around to head back to my car, and an East Bay Regional Park area (San Pablo Bay Regional Shoreline - Lone Tree Point) near the Bay.

By the time I arrived at the Point, the sun was starting to go down, and there were just a few people there. In addition to an old crumbling wharf, there was a small cove and beach with a cluster of wading shorebirds. An Amtrak train rumbled by, but other than that, it was very peaceful.

What's This All About?

I'm walking around San Francisco Bay, a few miles at a time, following the San Francisco Bay Trail. I walked 1,000 miles during my first walk around the bay.

Dec. 2011, I began my second walk. I look forward to walking new segments that continue to be added to the Bay Trail. And I'll continue to visit other bay trails (Alaska, Cuba, Hawaii, and more) in the future. Thank you to all who've joined me on walks.
